The count

How much does it
pay the vote counters or is it overtime
for the town hall gang

A friend of mine used to count votes at elections and she works at Barclays bank. I think she said they paid £10 odd an hour. That's the jeight of scavving!

"That's the jeight of scavving!"

Yes. That's reet. Aye!

Anyone else watching the results? 01:25am and none in yet. A bit slow inntit?

Perhaps, with so few voting in local elections, many are doing the count today!

It's more like they cawn't be arsed counting in the middle of the night.

I worked for Standish Council and when the polls closed we high tailed it to the council offices in High Street to begin the count. In those days, the 60’s, only when the votes had been counted, we went home no longer leaving the count until the day after. I can’t remember how much got paid but it was good.
